It’s been a while I apologize. I have some good pictures from Lodwar and Mombasa in no particular order, so enjoy. I’ve been trying to keep myself really busy working around the hospital in Migori. Right now I’m trying to put together a medical supplies shipment here through the charity Project Cure. I’ve worked with them for some time, it’s a great organization. They send supplies around the world to places in need and without being coy, this location defiantly qualifies. Some blaring example include at times the hospital doesn’t have any oxygen because there are no oxygen tanks, or masks that fit patients. Other times surgery has to be cancelled because there are no surgical blades or propane to heat the fluids. The lack of resources gives one a real perspective on the difficulty of life in destitute poverty.
Anyway the process is moving along but there’s a lot of red tape trying to figure out customs and shipping details. One thing you learn in Kenya is that the bureaucracy here is quite frustrating, but then again I suppose the opposite would actually be strange.
I’ll be home in about a month and I’m looking forward to it. I could really use a day of skiing, life on the equator is a tad hot. I miss everyone and I hope all is well.

ReplyDeleteDear, Pete
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how you have still been in good health considering the fact that the food is not always safe. Anyway it is interesting that when I saw the pic of the airport there was no security but there was no terrorism! I would not be able to stand it because I am a mosquito magnet and I would get very sore. Now is the best time to come back because it is ski season.
Have fun coming home.
Christian (Mrs. Mack's student)
Pete! This is great. So happy I found your blog (via Madeline's of course!) Keep up the good work saving the world!
